Career
At Alabama, Hood is noted for being their first All-American men"s basketball player in 1931 and as the leader of the undefeated 1929-1930 Crimson Tide squad. Hood"s nickname "Lindy" came during his playing days with Alabama during a trip to New Orleans to play Tulane. As he entered a hotel lobby, a crowd mistook Hood for Charles Lindbergh and thus the nickname "Lindy" was given to him.
Hood was posthumously inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1990.
